Music Autobiography My name is Darshan Gandhi, I was born in a town called Egg Harbor Township, New Jersey. Ever since I could remember, music has been around me all of my life. I grew up into an Indian family where music was our cultures number one craze. When I was eight years old, my mom would take me to the Indian temple, that is where we would do our prayers. The type of music they played at the temple was very different, it consisted of flutes and a singer whom would sing with a group of people. It was very fascinating, but at my age I wasn't very much interested in it. During the age of ten, in my fourth grade class, the whole fourth grade which consisted of around seventy kids, had to do a musical. The musical consisted of seventy kids playing a plastic flute. We spent about two months practicing and had to learn how to play it properly, I struggled with it a lot. I wasn't too much into it nor did I like music very much after having to play a flute which was one the worst experiences of my life. When 5th grade came, the whole 5th grade classes was required to be part of a chorus. It was required that every student had to do it, to graduate. I actually liked chorus a lot better than playing the flute. I enjoyed it cause even if my voice and singing was not too good, it didn't matter because we sung as a group.
When 7th grade came, I remember this day as a very special day. I met a student named Kenny, me and him talked and got to know each other, and he asked me if I listened to Eminem, Tupac, or Jay Z. I told him I had no idea what he was talking about. He was shocked at how I have never heard of these rappers. That day when school was over, Kenny asked me to come over to his house to hangout. I went over and we played some video games, then he put on some music, at first he put on Eminem, and I was amazed at what I was listening to. I have never heard rap in my life and I was sitting here listening to it enjoying so much of it. Then
